Well....all the fuss has died down and mum is being allowed home later today, which is very good news, and I can wait a little longer for my grandson to make his debut in a few days' time. Well done the doctors and nurses, who have patched mum up so she's not in as much pain now. Baby is fine. 
I'm also due to be a second time granny in May - 3 days after the first one's 2nd birthday. They had the 20 week scan last week and we know its a boy and all is well. The first one was a bit traumatic as she had pre-eclampsia so is being monitored carefully this time.
Ours are at a distance and I have coped by visiting once a month for one night and with Skype in between. Skype has made such a difference and our little man now sits in front of the computer and demands "Ganny", which is lovely.
Exciting times
when - They sound so very well cared for. Feet up, cup of tea and.....relax. Thinking of you all. x
Good luck when. I hope all goes well for the next few days and there are no more alarms. How exciting for you all. 
when Best for mum and baby to be where professional help is at hand. I'm excited for you.
At least she's being monitored all the time, when. The little one will will make its way here when it's ready!
when oh how exciting
when, we're all waiting with you. 
when - any time now, then! I can imagine how you're feeling!
Grannydougs - wonderful news!
On pins today! Son and partner have been at the maternity hospital since yesterday afternoon, as she keeps feeling sick and having pains, and now she's on a drip because she's a little dehydrated. Three false alarms in as many days. Baby due in 12 days, but now they're waiting for the consultant to decide whether to deliver now or not. It's a planned c-section. My patience is wearing thin with excitement and anticipation
pollyann Welcome to GN, keep sharing and you will get into stride! I didn't even look at this thread (because unless something happens between now and March) I'm not expecting any grandbabies this year! But I've now read everyone's wonderful news and am amazed at the explosion of little people being grown.
Pollyann, I've just read your post about your grandchild that's due next month. You must be so excited! You say that it's hoped that the baby's going to be a boy - and that your son-in-law's mother is old-fashioned. It's lovely that you feel as you do - a baby is a joy and brings such love along with it. Whether this little person is a girl or a boy it will be cherished, I'm sure.
Welcome Gorki , hope you enjoy it here , can be fun !
That's great Gorki. I look forward to hearing much more of you. We are a friendly crowd and sometimes a little bit whimsical, or should I say crazy? If there are arguments, well, that's just the grit in the oyster that makes the pearl that is G'net.
Gorki How lovely for you. Having family so close is such a bonus. 600 miles separate us from the youngest grandchild. Never mind, we get to visit as often as we can. Where there's a will... A very warm welcome to Gransnet.
Gorki - welcome if you are new to posting. Great news and something lovely to look forward to in the gloomy days of winter. Yes, you are very lucky to be so involved in the lives of your grandchildren.
